Unit 6: Evolution
Notes:
Darwin, Evolution, Speciation, Macroevolution
Activities:
Candy Natural Selection Do Now
Moth Computer Simulation
Opposable Thumb Activity
Amino Acid Sequence Evidence for Evolution
Rat Island Speciation
Objectives:
1. Describe evolution and what causes it.
2. State Darwin’s major theories and describe how he developed these scientific ideas.
3. Determine which individuals are most fit for their environment based on the selection pressures present.
4. Compare and contrast the processes of artificial selection and natural selection.
5. Explain the difference in inheritance between genetic traits and acquired traits.
6. Describe which concrete pieces of evidence support the theory of evolution.
7. Describe how genetic variations are created, how they are passed through a population, & how they cause
evolution.
8. Identify and/or draw a diagram of natural selection (directional, stabilizing, disruptive) on polygenic traits.
9. Explain the purpose of the Hardy-Weinberg Principle.
10. Name and explain the five conditions that must be met for the Hardy-Weinberg Principle.
11. Describe the ways different species can have reproductive isolation.
12. Compare and contrast relative dating and absolute dating of fossils.
13. Identify the relative age of a fossil based on rock layers.
14. Determine the absolute age of a fossil by using its radioactive half-life.
15. Compare and contrast the theories of gradualism and punctuated equilibrium.
